Genesis 16:13
“And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?”
KJV
Read in Genesis 16Meaning
Hagar calls the LORD who spoke to her the God who sees, expressing astonishment that she has encountered divine attention and lived.
Read carefully
The naming arises from Hagar's own encounter and testimony; it should not erase the concrete suffering that gives the confession its force.
Reflection
Being seen in distress can be life-changing, and the verse invites communities of faith to practice the same attentive regard toward overlooked people.
